These are USB-powered flatbed units for people who need scanning capability but don't own an all-in-one printer. The low-end models are no better quality than the scanners you get in many all-in-ones for the same price. However, their small size and single USB cable connection is an advantage.

Canon does not supply Linux drivers for these units, but SANE has a driver that uses the genesys backend. Install the PET below. Your scanner should work in both Xsane and PeasyScan. With PeasyScan, you will probably want to enable "Show Advanced Options".

Note: These models have a locking switch on the bottom. Don't forget to unlock it!

Hi ,
I've installed your lide 110_backend-1.0.25 and added
# Canon LiDE 120
usb 0x04a9 0x190e
to /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf.
Unfortunately its still not being detected.
I'm using Tahrpup 6.0.5.
Could I ask for the development version?
Thanks
Brendan

Got it going.
Your lide110 pet installs libsane.so.1.0.26 in /usr/lib/ but the files libsane.so and libsane.so.1 point to libsane.so 1.0.23.
I changed the links to point to libsane.so.1.0.26.
In /usr/lib/sane it was the same problem: the files libsane-genesys.so and libsane-genesys.so.1 were linked to libsane-genesys.so.1.0.23.
Changing these to point to libsane-genesys.so.1.0.26 allows scanimage -L to find the scanner.
I like your peasyscan program by the way.
Thanks again for your help.
Brendan

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Iḿ now using Lxpup_Xenial installed on a usb flash drive.
Is that a ¨full¨ install?
I downloaded your latest pet file (1.0.26).
I checked the symlinks and they were set up correctly.
However, scans just gave a black page.
I still had tahrpup on another flash drive with your previous pet file (1.0.25).
I copied the libsane file from 1.0.25 to the Lxpup_Xenial installation and the scanner works fine.
Not sure whatś going on.
Brendan
